Also one transaction for 5450 =P Title: Re: 17000 BTC from 240 accounts Post by: urtur on June 11, 2011, 03:38:22 PM I'd bet internal deepbit movement.

Must have been 'good old times' ;) Title: Re: 17000 BTC from 240 accounts Post by: yyduinihao0 on June 11, 2011, 06:19:39 PM Interesting to know.

Most of those are VERY old generated blocks. what makes you think that's some kind of sale? it looks like someone's aggregating their funds into a single account - and the most likely explanation for that is a transfer to an exchange. (or just bookkeeping - but the client makes this sort of bookkeeping unnecessary.) Title: Re: 17000 BTC from 240 accounts Post by: spectacular on June 11, 2011, 07:05:46 PM I'm new to the game but many accounts to one means someone at least has tons of machines they control where they can aggregate funds.

Someone cashed out nearly a quarter million USD. Title: Re: 17000 BTC from 240 accounts Post by: bcpokey on June 11, 2011, 07:28:46 PM I think you guys are focusing on the wrong thing. There was 17000 BTC moved in one transaction, and that jackass paid a transaction fee of .29 bitcoins. What a jerk.

Title: Re: 17000 BTC from 240 accounts Post by: aahzmundus on June 11, 2011, 09:29:13 PM doesn't each generated block go to a new address? IE this is someone who had old bitcoins and was like ... oh, i have 250thousand from that silly program I ran years ago... that's nice! and cashed out?
The reason bitcoin is so valued right now is because of these coins that are not in circulation. It's a good thing that these old coins are getting back into the mix, it makes the currency more stable the more spread out the coins are. We have to get this sort of thing out of our system... Imagine what would happen if some of the people with 100k+ cashed out!

Title: Re: 17000 BTC from 240 accounts Post by: Sukrim on June 11, 2011, 11:47:46 PM LulzSec would claim they killed the pope if he dies tonight just to get some fanbois to go like this --> :o <--

Because someone dumped about 17,000 BTC on mtgox about 30 minutes after this transaction, driving the price down from 20 to 13. Didn't you hear about it?

That "single account" may very well have been a receiving address provided by MtGox. If so, those BTC will sit there up until the point MtGox uses that transaction to pay off a future withdrawal.

Some as early as 2009...

There doesn't seem to be any connection between those two events. Nor is LulzSec claiming to actually have owned those bitcoins. (Not likely, since they appear to have been sold yesterday for somewhere around a quarter million USD.) |
